Yes, those things you mentioned contribute to higher prices as well as what I mentioned. More regulations, higher taxes, wages, penalties, etc. all make for higher prices on the things we buy.We didn't start doing that either. If anything these have been more lax.
To explain the inflation of the past few years you'd have to talk about what has changed, and it hasn't been the scope or enforcement of regulations.
A lot of food comes from the west where it isn't raining anymore driving up fruit and vegetable prices. Eggs come from chickens that are having historic bird flu. Sunflowers come from Ukraine driving up food oil prices so butter is more expensive. Coffee is from South America that has been having a lot of weather issues. Oil and natural gas come from Russia driving up energy prices. Fertilizer comes from Belarus. Covid caused supply chain disruption and helped slow the largest manufacturing economy in the world in China that supplies us with cheap goods.
What new regulations are causing inflation?
